Lamine Yamal: Barcelona star destined to create new era

If his sociological role is symbolic, his psychology adds depth. Lamine Yamal is self -aware.

He knows that he is a genius and does not imitate otherwise. Already free kicks, penalties and wears Barca’s 10 shirt. “Having a character helps me survive, or he says.

This flexibility comes not only from talent, but also from life itself. Mataro, the son of immigrants from Morocco and Guinea, grew up in Rocafonda, the working class neighborhood. His grandmother once secretly entered a bus to switch to Spain, and his mother raised him as he was doing more than one job.

When his father was stabbed, Lamine Yamal was only 16 years old. At first La Masia fought social displacement and moved from a modest environment to a distinguished environment. All this hardened him.

Now he intends to give back. The first thing he did with his earnings was to buy his mother’s house. “He’s my queen for me,” he says. Despite the late shifts, he still remembers how he came home to cook dinner.

Despite the examination, he treats fame with the detachment. When the birthday party was in headlines, he laughed: “18 years old and news?” Criticism is washed as long as it performs. His true fear does not fit his own ambition.

Nevertheless, there is a way of humility of football.

He played only eight minutes in the OLD Nou camp before renewing, which reminded that he was ahead.

And most importantly, Barcelona shows that they can win while injured. Once upon a time, “Laminedepencia”, which was perfect, is breathing them; Marcus Rashford, Pedri and others carry the team when necessary in the last matches.

This is good news for both the club and the player. It allows Lamine Yamal to grow in a collective, not under the expectation of being a savior.

It develops on the field. Defense work, intensity, all of the duels show growth. Both Hansi Flick and Luis de La Fuente turn her into a total of footballers.
